Version 4.4.0.91 (19 Feb 2023)

This release is primarily a bug-fix release.
A complete list of bugs fixed in this version is available here:

https://sv.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?group=3Dmake&report_id=3D111&fix_release_=
id=3D110&set=3Dcustom

* WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
  In previous releases it was not well-defined when updates to MAKEFLAGS ma=
de
  inside a makefile would be visible.  This release ensures they are visibl=
e
  immediately, even when invoking $(shell ...) functions.  Also, command li=
ne
  variable assignments are now always present in MAKEFLAGS, even when parsi=
ng
  makefiles.
  Implementation provided by Dmitry Goncharov <[email protected]>

* New feature: Parallel builds of archives
  Previously it was not possible to use parallel builds with archives.  It =
is
  still not possible using the built-in rules, however you can now override
  the built-in rules with a slightly different set of rules and use paralle=
l
  builds with archive creation.  See the "Dangers When Using Archives" sect=
ion
  of the GNU Make manual, and https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?14927

* New platform: GNU Make is supported on z/OS
  Thanks to Igor Todorovski <[email protected]> for the patches and testi=
ng
  assistance.

* Previously target-specific variables would inherit their "export" capabil=
ity
  from parent target-specific variables even if they were marked private.  =
Now
  private parent target-specific variables have no affect.  For more detail=
s
  see https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?61463

* Updates to allow building on OS/2
  Provided by KO Myung-Hun <[email protected]>

* Disable FIFO jobserver on GNU/Hurd and Cygwin
  Experimentation shows that the new FIFO-based jobserver doesn't work well=
 on
  GNU/Hurd or Cygwin: revert these systems to use the pipe-based jobserver.
